By Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

In school, you couldn't help but scope the halls for hotties.
You were well known for flirting and changing sweeties quicker than your underwear.
And while you did break some hearts, no one really held that against you.
You were so charming, no one could be mad at you for long!

What Superlative Are You?

And guess what, Xangans? I really was voted 'biggest flirt' in high school!!!

For Matthew, Who Wants my Poems to Rhyme

for TheBigShowatUD
It bothers him, he tells me
when poetry doesn't rhyme
Whether I agree or disagree
is hardly worth his time
His decision has been made
his opinion is fixed
why should I dissuade
these poetic politics?
He knows what he likes
regarding verse and lyric
we are different, alike
both thin and very thick

Irreverent, his suggestions
Nude and new
Spotted brilliance
Pinpoints of illumination
I listen to every syllable he chooses to
Reveal to me with
Appreciation, awe.
Thankful,
I am--for his words:
Opaque, dense,
Near perfect--my amusing muse.
